Occasional rental in Białystok — guide

Białystok is a key rental market in north-eastern Poland. More landlords are switching from standard leases to najem okazjonalny because it provides stronger protection after the lease ends. For local tenants, it is “just another agreement”. For incoming residents (students, relocated employees, people moving from other regions) the biggest practical issue is often the substitute address.

A substitute address (lokal zastępczy) is the property where the tenant can move after vacating the rented apartment. The substitute address owner must provide written consent via a properly prepared statement.

What documents you need

A typical occasional rental documentation package includes:

1. the occasional rental agreement (notarial deed),
2. the tenant’s statement submitting to enforcement,
3. the substitute property owner’s statement.

Depending on the notary and landlord expectations, the owner’s statement may require notarial certification.
